The Weekend Notebook: Light & Bright – The Neon Homewares Trend

The 80s resurgence of late has provided us with a vast array of neon homewares products to brighten our kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways and patios. It’s easy to indulge in some eye-popping neon, and you’ll have plenty to choose from; the trend has been to team one or two neon pieces in vibrant yellow, pink or blue, with a neutral setting which means it may well fit with your existing home without any difficulty.

Neons are such evocative colours – I see them and find myself instantly transported to the 1980s of my childhood, to Vegas or Tokyo, to a retro diner, to a video arcade. There’s nothing angry about neon; its shades are overwhelmingly positive and create an eye-catching area of happiness.
